TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST BUT TOUGH PEOPLE DO
Lord, give me the guidance to know when to hold on and when to let go and the grace to make the right decision with dignity. This could be the most important prayer you’ve ever prayed, and this book could be the answer to that prayer. For this book will provoke you to tough action: (a) To hold on until the light breaks, the tide turns, and the times change for the better; to tenaciously dig in and bloom where you are planted; to inspire people with your cheerful attitude while you are going through such obviously difficult times. In the process you will inspire others to choose the noble and positive outlook.
Or (b) this book will inspire you to take action to make a bold and daring move; to make a creative transition, recognizing and era has come to an end. The factory will never reopen. The steam engines are never going to be manufactured again. Sometimes the cup has fallen. It is broken. “All the king’s horses and all the king’s men couldn’t put Humpty Dumpty together again.” Now you may need to absorb the spills and develop new skills. This book will get you started on the path to success once again.
When you have exhausted all possibilities, remember this: You haven’t! In the final analysis, the tough people who survive do so because they have learnt to reach positively to their predicament. They don’t give up. They manage their problems creatively and constructively—and succeed. Tough people think positively. Positive thinking will always get positive support, says Dr. Robert Schuller, the originator of the philosophy of ‘Possibility Thinking’. It is an exercise in dynamic and creative imagination. It provokes you to dream. It inspires you to execute your dreams—and to succeed.
Here’s How You Can Be Tough Too! What is the secret ingredient of tough people that enables them to succeed? Why do they survive the tough times when others are overcome by them? Why do they soar when others sink? According to Robert Schuller, the difference between those who win and those who don’t, is the application of the powerful concept of ‘Possibility Thinking’. Winners dare to dream. They commit themselves to it. They dare to try, to take risk. They believe ‘If it’s going to be, its up to me’. They understand that failure is an event not a person. They never quit. In this international bestseller Dr. Robert Schuller translates his philosophy of ‘Possibility Thinking’ into an action plan for success and demonstrates how to turn your dreams into success, setbacks into new beginnings, and successes into newer possibilities.
